Description

There used to be a version where one could see the LEDs of the charger. We should add an option to generate these holes into the main case. I would still turn this option off by default, as the holes require extra steps during assembly.

The holes could have just one layer of filament across them to make the LEDs shine through, or be completely open (compare #9). This could be another parameter.

Research direction

Start by locating the OpenSCAD entry point for the main case and compare the existing LED-hole approach referenced in issue #9. Add an option that is off by default, with a parameter for a single filament layer or completely open holes; done means both variants generate correctly without changing the default case.
